[EVO 4G General] laydros:
reworking OP to get ready for CM7 builds. Posting entire contents here for archive purpose.

================================

[HIGHLIGHT]I'll update for all the 6.1 final info soon. But it's out, its awesome. It has lockscreen gestures and lets you use the WiMax LED for notifications. Also thought I'd drop links in here for some Gingerbread goodness. Most useful is the new keyboard. Bugless Pete put one out but auto-correct didn't work, this one does have working auto-correct: link to post at androidforums for now

Note: you can disable the settings and voice buttons to get a bigger space bar. Also make sure to select english to get auto-correct while you are in the settings.

Someone has been kind enough to kang all the Gingerbread eye candy into a CM 6.1 theme. It works very well so far: grab it here

Finally, since it came up in the thread, a while back Cyanogen posted the AOSP launcher if anyone wanted it instead of ADW. You can buy it in the market or grab it for free off XDA here.

(11/20) - New in nightlies/RC2 since RC1:

Overscroll bounce - off by default

Lockscreen sliders to go straight to phone and messaging - off by default

Fix for BT Mouse cursor on orientation change

White icons for notification pull-down power widget when using black theme

ADW Launcher 1.3

Now on unified (shared with N1/DS/Bravo) 2.6.35 kernel

Bluetooth FTP server profile

Messaging/Phone sliders on lockscreen

Lockscreen gestures

Google Apps are now up to 20101114

CM now points to goo-inside.me as the source for Google Apps, so the link below now goes there.

[HIGHLIGHT]4G Pool[/HIGHLIGHT]​

kpoz has created a pool to put some money towards the 4G efforts for CM:

##########################################

Please bear in mind this is a nightly build, meant to be a testing ground for developers, and there may even be times the new nightly won't work at all. This is a common way of working in open source software. Most of the problems you are encountering the developers are already aware of. With that said, most of the nightly builds has been very solid and stable for many people here, and several of us that are used to development software are using it as a daily driver. Just realize that is not the intention of nightly builds.

[HIGHLIGHT]Known Bugs[/HIGHLIGHT]​

No 4G <- confirmed will not be in 6.1

No HDMI <- Cyanogen said jeagross has this almost working, but he is currently out with surgery, so we will probably see it soon (after 6.1)

Music app Keep Screen on while charging" setting does not work

Bluetooth keyboard doesn't have Ctrl key properly mapped

Missing some carrier specific stuff, big issue is EPST. There is no way to use codes like ##DATA# and no way to update PRL. <- I don't really expect we will ever see this. It basically involves tying into carrier specific stuff

Bluetooth mouse doesn't respond to landscape mode

[HIGHLIGHT]Installation Info[/HIGHLIGHT]​

You must be fully rooted (including NAND rooted)

Nightlies are posted at: http://buildbot.teamdouche.net/nightly/supersonic/

After flashing the main part of CM, you will probably want to flash the Google Apps Add-On, which includes things like the Market, Talk, GMail, and Maps. Gapps is available here: http://mirror.kanged.net/gapps/

Make sure to get the Gapps HDPI version (HDPI vs MDPI is screen resolution)

You will need the latest radio and WiMax radio. If you already have them there is no need to reinstall

With some of the recent mirror problems, you may want to try drmacinyasha's mirrors:

[HIGHLIGHT]What features are included[/HIGHLIGHT]​

Full AOSP

Running 2.6.34 Linux kernel

Android OS 2.2.1 (FroYo)

More standard Bluetooth stack. HTC uses a funky proprietary bluetooth implementation. Cyanogen has replaced this with a more common one, so the phone now supports HID (Mice & Keyboards) and the Wiimote app in the store.

Tons of Cyanogen Mod tweaks and tools, including but not limited to:

Updated music app with extra options and lockscreen controls

360 rotation (and select which orientations are used)

kernel speed tweaks

Notification Drop down power control

CyanogenMod Settings integrated into settings menu

DSP settings

Status bar and notification pulldown are customizable

Torch flashlight uses camera flash, includes widget

Additional settings and tweaks for Contacts, Dialer, and MMS (maybe more)

[HIGHLIGHT]FAQ[/HIGHLIGHT]​

Q. When the new nightly comes out can I just download and flash over the top of the install?

A. Because these are development nightlies they are not guaranteed to work in this way. In many cases this may work fine, but even if it does it may not implement a new feature or fix. For example the MMS fix would not show up unless you wiped, or deleted a specific directory.

Q. What has changed in the newest nightly build?

A. For me the easiest thing has been to follow the CM Source twitter feed. Pretty much any change that doesn't mention another device specifically will show up on the nightly.

Look here for Cyanogen's changes: http://github.com/cyanogen

and here for CyanogenMod in general: http://github.com/CyanogenMod

Q. Flash isn't working

A. Go to the market, search for "Flash Player" and install.

Q. I don't have a Market icon or any other google apps

A. You didn't flash gapps or flashed the wrong one

Q. Rom Manager won't let me download the nightly

A. Purchase the premium version from the Market

Q. Why is the launcher slow?

A. It isn't really, but the defaults make it feel sluggish. Try some of the settings from this post by midri

Q. How can I update PRL?

A. There currently is not a way to do it in Cyanogen Mod. You will need to restore a nandroid backup of a 2.1 ROM (you did make one, right?), update the PRL, then Nandroid back to CM6.

Q. What times are the nightly builds? And what time in my timezone?

A. To my understanding, the bot begins building at Midnight UTC which is 8:00pm EST. They finish around 30 mins later. You can always check this link and verify that the mod date is the next day (for us in the U.S.) In otherwords, It's currently 10:50pm EST on 7/10 and the mod date on the zip file is 2010-Jul-11 00:35:56 so I know it has been built:

http://mirror.kanged.net/cm/nightly/supersonic/

Q. Rom Manager says there are no updates

A. Since these are nightly builds and not releases, the filename stays the same and Rom Manager knows you have a rom named that already. If you want to assure you have the latest, clear your download cache and re-download.

Q. Can I install the Sense dialer/music player/widgets/etc. ?

A. By default no. Sense widgets only work with the Rosie launcher. Most of the other stuff it tightly bound to the framework, which is why many of the AOSP applications can not be easily installed on a Sense ROM. Also, this is an Android 2.2 build, and HTC doesn't even have Sense UI working on 2.2 yet. Some APKs could work, and various members of the community are currently working on porting Sense to 2.2.

​

Please feel free to add any that I missed, but hopefully we don't get repeats of the same answered questions or known bugs. I hope this makes things easier for everyone to know what's going on.

Thanks again for your hard work, Cyanogen, Toast, Madcoder, and all of the CyanogenMod Team!
